You will not be able to embed arbiturary XML data into HTML.  Some filtering
and transformation is required to make sure everything is digestable by HTML
browsers and processors.  I assume that you are planning to bracket the XML
data with an HTML tag which prevents rendering and access the XML elements
through DOM from a scripting language like JavaScript.

I do not see any serious problem with what you are trying to do.  If you are
looking for some guidelines in removing HTML hostile constructs of XML, I
suggest you read the HTML spec.  If you are looking for some software to do
this, I do not think there is anything available at this time but it should
be easy to write a SAX application which reads in XML resources and writes
out HTML-friendly XML.
